Retrieve the skill catalog from the HRIS. These are the skills that can be attached to employees and staffing entities.

Top level filters use AND, while individual filters use OR if they accept multiple arguments. That means filters will be resolved like this: `(id IN ids) AND (remote_id IN remote_ids)`

                      might violate other

                      Remote data always has the endpoint path that we got the
                      data from as the

                      top level key. For example, it could look like: `{

                      Some errors include an error code that can be used to
                      identify their cause. See the [Error Handling
                      Docs](https://docs.kombo.dev/guides/errors) for more
                      information. For your error handling logic please use the
                      error `code` instead of other properties (e.g. message,
                      http status code, ...).

                When building error handling logic, always use the `code` field
                to identify specific error types programmatically. See the
                complete list of error codes in the
                [docs](https://docs.kombo.dev/guides/errors).
